Lately, I have had some blank looks from Mrs Foden when I have been talking about my work, particularly about how new technology ('cloud' computing et al) will alter the workings of government. I thought I'd have a shot, with the able help of John McCubbin, at a simple explanation in this video... How new technology will change the mechanics of government services (in plainish English)

There was a positive reaction to it, including...

A work of considerable genius from @markwfoden http://t.co/kzIV8yXy4n <-- shift from bespoke IT to platforms & services in plain english
